Centerstand and skid plate install

[TN Rider]

I bought crasbars, a centerstand, and skid plate around Christmas for my 04 DL650. But, I only got around to installing the crash bars. Now I can't remember which I was going to install next. Would it be more convenient to install the centerstand or skid plate or does it matter? Thanks.

I would install the skid plate next, thereby ensuring you do not have clearance issues with the centerstand during installation. Some have reported clearance problems with certain centerstands, but I forget which one it is.

Thanks, Tollster. Time to get to work on the bike!
